I put my trust in the photo shoot with Nicole and just let her guide me. That turned out to be a great strategy, and we ended up with shots that looked natural but interesting. What could have just been a standard shot is now a photo that looks natural and allows my personality to shine through. Carol is an absolute delight, and I will be proud and happy to recommend Carol and Nicole to anyone who wants a great photo shoot! Thank you.

When looking for a wedding photographer, my husband and I were extremely critical in making our…read moreselection. From the moment we saw Carol's work, we instantly knew we could trust her with capturing our day. Carol has her Masters in Wedding Photography through PPA but also does headshots, family sessions, and more! We loved having a mini engagement session to get to know her better, share our preferred posing styles, and see how beautifully she captured our small moments. Additionally, she met with us before our big day to understand what was most important for her to capture and how our wedding day was scheduled out. When the big day came, Carol went above and beyond to photograph every big and small moment. She adjusted us as needed but also let us organically react in each moment. She turned her edits over quickly and we didn't have one bad photo in the bunch! Carol far exceeded our expectations and I could not recommend her more for any of your photography needs! She has many accolades for a reason and it shows time and time again in her work.

BK Rose is undeniably the best in the business. We hired Kat and Brett for both our engagement and…read morewedding photos, and we had an amazing experience every step of the way. Kat immediately made us feel comfortable, relaxed, and completely ourselves during our engagement shoot. Her attention to detail is phenomenal, especially when it came to all the little things I told her I wanted -- like my very specific request for our photos to feel grand and epic, but also romantic lol. She was always available by text or phone whenever we had questions or concerns. Weeks after our engagement shoot, I noticed something off about my dress, and she had edited photos back to me within hours to help solve the issue. Kat has such a vibrant energy about her that makes the photoshoots so fun! And that's before even getting to her incredible photography skills. She knows all the hidden gems around the city, how to navigate crowded locations to get THE shot, and how to capture a wide variety of moments while maintaining incredible quality. The photos truly speak for themselves. Kat and Brett together are an incredible duo. They seem to instinctively know what shot the other is trying to get, and it was cool to watch them flow together so seamlessly. I think that definitely contributes to their fantastic work. I'm not even sure what our next big event will be, but whatever it is, we're already looking forward to having a reason to hire Kat and Brett again!

We used Kat to do family/newborn photos when we had our 2nd child. We hadn't done family photos…read morebefore and Kat was so patient and helpful with answering all the questions I had and letting me try on outfits she had in the client wardrobe to see if anything would work for me before the photoshoot. She had some beautiful options but I ended up going with a dress of my own. Kat is truly a child/baby whisperer and was able to soothe my 3 week old to get her to cooperate for pictures and got my shy toddler to smile for photos! We received our pictures within 2 days of our photoshoot and they are nothing short of incredible. We have gotten so many compliments on how beautiful and stunning they look. I would highly recommend using BK Rose Studio for photos and know we will be reaching out again when we need more family photos taken!

I tend to get really anxious in front of a camera, and don't consider myself to be very photogenic and so I was nervous for the photo portion of our days!

She was nothing but positive and--truly!--made us feel awesome about ourselves and the pictures we were taking. She is just a pleasure to be around and our comfort and happiness really comes through in the photos. And the photos are amazing! Ashley really captured our days in a way that will help us keep those memories for a lifetime!

From the moment we met him, he put my daughter at ease with his friendly demeanor and clear direction. Doru has an incredible eye for capturing both the iconic Loyola campus spots and finding unique, unexpected settings that made my daughter's photos truly stand out. He knew exactly how to work with the natural light and architecture to create stunning compositions that perfectly captured this milestone in her life. What impressed me most was how he balanced professionalism with making the session fun and relaxed.
